Archers signet.....seems like an imporved marksmen's wager to me....since it is not a preparation you can add poison to it etc. , AND still add a stance. Not to mention is recharges just as fast.

Combined with needling shot on a target below 50 percent health = totaly spamable chocking gass uber fast arrows of much monk/elemental deadness.

I am also excited about the new trapper abilities.

Simply put? Expel Hexes/Unnatural Signet.

Pretty much, the Arcane Echo -> Shockwave -> Crystal Wave -> Shockwave -> Teinais Crystals is the only damage combo for which it is better to take an ele primary over a fast casting mesmer for damage. Except the Energizing Winds Fire ele which only works in one or two team builds.

It's the only way to cause dazed consistently, without haaving to interrupt.

You can use a fast shooting bow or read the wind/favorable winds to offset the slower speed.

Does no one read my posts. Perhaps I smell or something... Regardless, even if you can manage to hit something with it, Daze is only a powerful condition in 4v4, and in those conditions, you can just use conc shot and use your elite on something a lot better.

For me:
E:Mirror of Ice
Me: POwer Return (7 second recharge interrupt)
Mo:Blessed Light
N: Animate Flesh Golem
R: Broad Head Arrow
W: Auspicious Parry

I liked the trapping sets that the Yetis had

Ele:
Ward of Stability: such a good skill. My first unlock during the event.

Mesmer:
stolen speed: kinda like migraine. really interesting skill
power return: 7 seconds recharge says it all and it's not elite

Warrior:
Dragon slash + silverwing slash + sun and moon blade: very good adrenaline skill combo. I really like these new sword skills.

Daze is a powerful condition anyway you look at it. Claiming that it's only good in 4v4 is kind of narrow-minded. Look at Temple Strike... The point being: if covered up well, Daze can make short work of any spell-user. Maybe they will start doing Broad Head with Apply Poison much like they do (or shall we say used to do) with Cripple Shot. Powerful conditions are rarely left uncovered... much like powerful hexes.

I am not advocating the use of the skill- I want to make that clear. I am just suggestion a possible solution for its usage.

Sorry about that, it was late at night so I skimmed over.

Regardless, Dazed is a powerful condition in PvE when you want to shut down PvE enemyboss mesmers or monks.

I'll agree with that. I think Broad Head + needling will become a nice combo vs Lvl24-28 caster bosses, especially monks. YOu can hit them without fail as they don't strafe, you can stop them casting altogether and get some decent armor ignoring DPS on them at the same time. It would certainly turn that damn Mursaat Monk boss into a breeze.
